It’s just a polite way of saying im never talking to you again. Most people don’t have the gumption to be rude or upsetting so it’s their fall back.

Yeah but would you rather lie to someone and it’s nice and amicable or would you rather say I have no plans on ever talking to you again not because I don’t like you but because I don’t really feel like it

a polite way of saying im never talking to you again is suggesting hanging out soon? very counterintuitive

like you could just say nothing, and end the convo with “have a nice day/evening/night”, no one is forcing you to suggest a hang out

Yeah man im not suggesting it as a means to end a conversation, but I do think people use it as a way of avoiding the other person from suggesting hanging out and or taking the lead to do so in the future. It just like an exit or something

im sure people do use it that way, i’m not saying you’re wrong, i’m saying it’s a ridiculous thing to say when it’s the opposite of what you mean
